I was going to comment about critters screaming until I re-read your title, Bill! That's very interesting about one side being "safe." I guess, like any animal, the alligators have their favorite spots. Maybe it's cooler on the North side and they like it better there. Anyway, this is a glorious capture of an amazing place! Your love of the bayou really shows in your landscapes. #6315577
